If you bought it on preorder it was 200... 499 -100mir for phone and dock. that's 399 - 199 = 200.

I don't get why everyone was freaking out at how much they cost...
[Atrix 4G General] cushcalc:
For new customers only, rats!

Rats, only good for new activations, not for renewals - the renewal price is $449.99.

I would have totally jumped on it for $249.99!
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
Not really sure what numbers you are talking about there, this is for the phone and the lapdock. I have seen deals for $130 for the phone by itself, but never anything in this range for the phone and lapdock together. Plus no requirement to purchase tethering.
[Atrix 4G General] xamievilx:
lol wut?

it was never $200 for the phone and dock together...
[Atrix 4G General] Xarinn:
It was 599 - 100 mail in rebate in the at&t stores...
[Atrix 4G General] FNugget:
To be accurate, what the said was 499 AFTER the 100 rebate.

They never said 599 and a 100 rebate. Anyway, that makes Nonov's math look like:

"If you bought it on preorder it was 300... 599 -100mir for phone and dock. that's 499 - 199 = 300."

Which is what people have been saying for months.

From the OP, the letstalk bundle is 450, 50 off ATT. With an additional 200 off, thats 250. If you put the worth of the phone at 200, as Nonov did, this makes the laptop 50.

Ah, remember when everyone was throwing rumors of 150/150 for phone/laptop dock? But eh, it's the last push for new customers for ATT.
[Atrix 4G General] AJerman:
And it was just removed. Interesting though, it made me check my account and apparently my account IS available for upgrade +$50 off. I could get an Atrix for $150 right now. Weird since I got my Captivate last summer, but I'm not complaining! Don't think I'm gonna go with the Atrix though.
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
Yup, got my order in just in time. I agree I am seeing "Sorry, this product is no longer available." Listing on the page.

Ugh, now LetsTalk is claiming the pricing was a mistake, according to AndroidPolice they may attempt to cancel the orders:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ix-4g-laptop-dock-bundle-for-250-on-contract/
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
They are only selling AT&T for another week so I'm sure it'll be discounted. You also sign additional contracts and Let's Talk is known to be a pretty iffy place to buy phones.
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
Agree, it seems that the current deal would give me an ETF fee of over $600 if I canceled in the first 6 months. But I can live with that.

** Update 2-28-11 **

I think I will just update this post, since I don't want upset people by gloating about this great deal.

Walmart issued me a delivery date, so I called to confirm that it was accurate. The Wal-mart rep told me that they would be honoring the deal. I thought that was pretty cool of them.
[Xoom General] MichaelWestin:
I checked the market a few times yesterday (Designed for tablets section). Then I checked it at night. Same stuff. An hour later, 4 new apps popped up. Now I can't help but check really often.. probably like 10 times today already. I just can't wait to see what new and interesting good looking app pops up.

[Xoom General] dino325:
Slightly off topic but on the new market does anyone see where you can rate and reviews your apps? I'm not seeing the ability anywhere. But yes i am equally addicted to refreshing my market for new tablet apps lol..
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
There would have been a bunch more tablet apps, but Google released the Honeycomb SDK.. what yesterday or today?

Some devs got it early, like CNN, AngryBirds, etc... but the mainstream devs weren't so lucky.

So, we got ourselves a bit of lag effect going on. :rolleyes:

Just need to have them dig though the new SDK and kick out some useful apps.

Please no Sexy Asian picture apps in Tablet form... at least not yet! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BikerBoy030:
HI at all HTC Hero users.

ATM i use a htc touch pro, it is nice but i want to change to android, because there are a lot off nice apllications, and the ports for the touch pro are too laggy, eat too much battery etc.

So i want a nice android device.

I have a question for you:

Does the HTC Hero has enought power for android (at this moment)?

For me, the following things are important:

1. applications (navigation system or other GPS-programs; and other apps work without problems)

2. games like angry birds; paper toss ect work without a workaround: just install from the market and play

I know that dualcore-devices will come next month but i need this phone for some games(like explained), listen to music, surf a little bit on web and use applications like gps sport etc.

I also do not want 4.0" devices, 3,2" is perfect for me.

So my question is: does the HTC Hero has enought power(with the right rom and overclocked to 691-729MHZ) for my use?

Thanks for your answers,

BikerBoy030
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0zmic:
Google Navigation works okay for me, sometimes slightly slow and the latest version of angry birds is laggy but Paper Toss works relatively well.

Honestly, at this stage I wouldn't recommend it unless you're on a really tight budget. Even then, a phone such as the ZTE Blade which has a high res 3.5 inch screen is under £100, if you want a HTC then go for a Legend which has decent enough performance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberWalrus:
the simple answer is no. In the current android climate, the hero doesn't cut it. I still think its a great sized phone, cant agree more with you on that one, but its processor, no matter how overclocked, doesn't come close to even the cpu of the original droid, never mind the snapdragons, or the future dual core cpus. The hero doesn't have a dedicated graphics chipset, so you can wave goodbye to angry birds, and all but the simplest android games. The hero is only capable of openGLS 1.1 (I think?) and most phones and games nowadays use openGLS 2

GPS... Well, for me it's been a largely poor experience. The hero's battery is poor at best under heavyish use, so you will have to have a charger to hand for GPS. and even then, it runs hot, and isn't the best experience ever (UI lag). Others may have faired better in this department though.

So no, I would never recommend buying a hero now. Its been a great phone for the time I've had it, and I'll be sad to see it go, but at the same time I really can't wait to embrace a more powerful, capable android phone as soon as my contract runs out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BikerBoy030:
Thanks for the fast answers.

It wasn't the answer, i wanted to hear... but i am happy to hear it from you, than to feel it after buying this device.

The Blade isn't my phone because the software development isn't as big as i like. I want some tweaked devices, with good hardware.

Because i buyed an Acer Neotouch S200 (same hardware like the HD2) but it wasn't as good as the HD2: bad GPS, no good software, quite bad.

So i need to wait for the dual-cores to get a nice andoird experience?

For me it is important:- i want to listen to music(stream radio/ mp3)

- use a fast GPS-programm to navigate and to do sport

- use applications like : rss, kcal counter etc...

- the phone need to be handy (no 4" display)

- play some games not the newest ones like quake2/3 , just little games for freetime

big thanks to you,

BikerBoy030
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BikerBoy030:
could be closed, i wouldn't buy an HTC Hero:

thanks for the helpers:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0zmic:
Maybe you could look at the Original Desire then? Screen is 3.7 inch but it would suit all your needs, plus it's going to get Gingerbread so I think there will be development on it for another year. I don't think it's too expensive now either.

Good luck with whatever you choose to buy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hubix:
Wait for Wildfire S. It has more RAM and faster CPU and its a bit smaller
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuricTrax:
+1 here

My biggest gripe with the Hero is it's performance. When android was fresh and fairly simple and with not too many demanding apps it was fine, just. Now though it is like running that computer you bought ages ago, where it runs the OS ok, but once you do stuff it kinda feels a bit sluggish. OK if you don't push it but you'll always be wanting more.

I'm personally looking forward to something more snappier in the summer when my contract is due.

charge phone until light turn green. unplug, wait till led goes out. plug back in, wait until green. turn your phone off. wait until LED turns green. unplug, wait for LED to go out, plug back in, wait for LED to turn green, rinse and repeat 10 times.

enjoy better battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mybikegoes200:
Just checked...

1d 9h 9m 55s since last unplugged. With about 40% remaining. No - I'm not lying.

That is, of course, with only about 45mins of talking but that is also with a constant twitter connection as well as Exchange Active Sync (microsoft push) constantly bringing me about 120 emails per day on average.

I don't know if my battery life is common (although I gather not) but I can tell you this:

-my phone has a totally stock ROM, but is rooted with many bloat progs removed.

-I disabled or removed all location-aware progs

-I pretty much never use bluetooth so its always off

-I do occasionally use WiFi so thats maybe on 10% of the time

-I *never* put the phone on the charger until it has literally shut itself off dead. I then charge to 100% and repeat. I'm guessing this is the biggest factor.

This is just what works for me.

Hi, if anyone saw my other thread earlier you will know how I've got this far but its not too important. Anyway I've just flashed a custom recovery img (Amon RA) to my Nexus One and now i can't boot into recovery at all.

I get to the screen with the x and the padlock and then the screen goes blank and nothing works. If you saw my earlier thread you will know that this is also what happens when I try to normally boot up my N1 at the moment too but I need to be able to access recovery to flash a new rom and fix this.

[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
Android cannot connect to adhoc wireless networks. Your OG Droid is not capable of operating in AP mode and thus uses adhoc mode for wireless tether. As has been mentioned elsewhere you should be able to get bluetooth tethering to work.

Thanks. Don't know too much about tethering. So just change it to Bluetooth instead and it should work?

after all the troubles I had getting drivers(spent over 5 hours the day the update came out trying to find a good workaround...) and not being able to get anything to work with either the drivers on CD the drivers from the Zio webpage or the drivers that came with the update itself.... I gave up and installed through a x32 server 2008 box....

I just installed these drivers on my x64 w7 ultimate box and they all went through PERFECTLY!!!! didnt even have non signed driver issues!!!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Brantis:
I also have pulled out lots of hair trying to get the drivers to function, then I had to take a step back and realize that well...I was just trying to install drivers that were NOT for a 64bit operating system lol.

Its easy to make that mistake since everyone said that it was working.

The only thing I can think is that ...most people are actually using 32bit and not 64bit, or that they just installed the drivers from the CD, which will manually select the right driver version for you.

Either way, I'm glad that I could repost this and help out.

Lots of digging, but, it was well worth it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] 92GTA:
So it's being marketed that the 25GB cloud storage of Skydrive is to compensate for limited WP7 device storage. Ok fine, I'll go with that, BUT...

I'm trying to upload some music to my Skydrive and it just doesn't seem setup for this at all. I can't retain any kind of folder structure within a folder. Also (I don't have my WP7 device yet, on preorder), will my Skydrive simply show up as folder on the device and allow me to stream? Or is there a Skydrive app for doing that?

Perhaps I'm even doing this totally wrong. Is there like a Zune cloud somewhere that I can upload my library to and access and stream that from my WP7?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sirandrew:
I may be wrong, but I believe the only way to access the SkyDrive on WP7 is through the browser with one exception - pictures. The SkyDrive Camera Roll is intergrated into the Pictures Hub.

[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Yes, the so called "cloud" integration is a fallacy, at the moment at least and the best we have been led to expect is full document sync with Skydrive later this year (or whenever those damn carriers decide we can have it). You are better off using your PC and looking for a streaming application to use with that.
